His Custom

Chapter 1

It was mid March in America, in Washington D.C. home of the royal family, it was colder than usual. Whoever walked outside would immediately start to shiver, when they exhaled their breath was visible. But that didn't stop the children from going out and playing in the cold, it also didn't stop freshly 21 year old princess Pheme from going out into the forest by her castle with her friends..her guards were there as well. Her platinum blonde wavy hair bounced off her back as she carefully walked in the middle of her two friends, Edward and Diane, the leaves make a crunch noise as their shoes met the leaves and broke the leaves. "It really is cold out." Pheme said as she lifted her her dark grey cotton dress/coat up off the ground so it wouldn't get dirty. "Yeah no joke." Diane said, then all of a sudden they hear a crunch from not to far, they gasp, "did you guys hear that?" Edward asked.

Eirene was always cooped up in her small cottage cause her father never lets her leave, she doesn't know why her father won't let her leave the house, so she just sits at her window seat and watches the other kids her age play in the cold. She looked over at her fathers room since he came out, "Papa why can't I go outside?" Eirene asked, "I told it..it's too dangerous." He answered and walked into the kitchen to make breakfast, she sighed and looked out the window, she glanced at the forest right by her house and saw something glow. Her eyes widen and she got excited as she jumped up out of her seat and ran towards the door, she twisted the door handle and opened the door, running out. Kova heard the door and looked over, "Eirene!" He yelled as he ran out of the house and in the direction his 6 year old daughter went. "Eirene where did you go?!" He repeated as he looked everywhere for her.

The group of the three royals panicked as they saw a shadow coming closer, then..a little girl appeared. She had reddish orangish wavy hair, beautiful chocolate brown eyes. She was dressed in a long sleeved pale pink shirt and a white skirt, she looked at the group, "Hello..I'm Eirene! Whats your name?" The little girl said. Pheme smiled and she made her way over to the little girl, "I'm Pheme, it's nice to meet you Eirene." She said as she watched the little girls eyes widen, "Woah! You're the princess right? You're next in line for the throne!" Eirene pointed out. Pheme chuckled and patted Eirene on the head, "Yes I am. Now..wheres your parents? You shouldn't be out here by yourself." And right as Pheme was saying that, she heard a males voice call out, "Eirene?! Where are you?!" And a male with reddish orangish straight but wavy hair appear from the direction Eirene came from, Eirene turned around and yelled out "Papa! Papa! I met the princess! I met the princess!". Pheme chuckled at the look on the mans face as his daughter said that. "its nice to meet you sir, I'm Pheme." She said and curtsied. "I..well..um..I'm Kova." He said. "It's nice to meet you sir." She flashed him a smile, "You too." He smiled back, "Now come on Eirene, let's go home." And just like that the little girl and her father left the voice, and the group of three headed back to the castle.

Pheme immediately plopped on her bed and stared at her ceiling, thoughts were rushing her mind like a water falling into a lake. And then she started thinking about that man..Kova, she smiled to herself subconsciously but that smile went away when she heard her bedroom doors open, she sat up and looked at who her guest was. "Good evening mother." She said and bowed her head to her mom. "Pheme, a prince is here to meet you." Her mother started, "I expect you to be dressed in a proper dress..and not whatever outfit you're wearing now. Look your best. I'll send Nanny Plum up to help you." Her mother finished and before Pheme could said "yes mother" the queen walked out. She sighed and her doors opened again, Nanny Plum walked in and shut the doors. "I know that look. You don't want to meet this boy, do you?" She asked, "No Nanny, I don't. I don't want to marry a prince..I want to marry someone that I love." She poured her thoughts out. "I'm sorry princess..but you know the rules." Nanny plum said. "Nanny, there was the guy I met! His name was Kova he had a daughter, she was adorable! Oh and he was handsome too." She said. Nanny Plum's eyes widen as the princess said his name, for she had recognized that name, he was a wanted criminal. "That's nonsense princess! You can't be thinking of marrying him, he's no prince!" She argued, Pheme sighed, "I know...it's just..I-" but before she could say anything Nanny Plum said, "I'm very sorry princess but I must get you ready to meet the prince." And Pheme nodded.

Pheme was standing in the throne room, dressed in an off the shoulder, long sleeved yellow long dress, there were flower patches on the top of the dress that went down a bit into the bottom part, it was a bit puffy but not too much to make it look like a ball gown. Her hair was pulled back into a braid, she had a face on that showed no emotions. Her parents sat in the his and hers thrones as her little sister stood off to the side next to her mother, she stood in just ahead but in the middle of her parents' thrones. But then the throne room doors opened and entered a prince who had black hair that was wavy, he wore a blue princely outfit. She sighed internally and put on a fake smile. "Prince Flynn, welcome, you have come along way from Finland. I hope we can make your stay great." The king said. "Thank you, your majesty." Prince Flynn said as he bowed. "Prince Flynn, allow us to introduce you to our oldest daughter and America's next queen, Princess Pheme." The queen said, Pheme curtsied and Said "It's nice to meet, Prince Flynn." Flynn bowed and replied, "It's a pleasure to meet you Princess." Now Pheme would be lying if she said that Flynn wasn't handsome, she smiled for real this time and looked up to see Nanny Plum giving her a thumbs up. She turned around and Prince Flynn walked up and stood next to her, "You two will have two hours to get to know each other." The king said the two nodded. "You are dismissed." The queen dismissed her daughter and future son in law. They both left the throne room, Pheme grabbed her jacket and put it on before the two left to walk around.

"I'm sorry you're being forced into marrying me, Princess." Flynn said, she looked at him shocked at what he said. She smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's the rules..if I want to be queen I have to marry." But Flynn stopped, she stopped and looked at her. He takes both of her hands in his and said, "Once you marry me, you won't only be the queen of America, but the queen of Finland as well." He smiled and let go of her hands, he takes off both his gloves and puts them on her hands, "Your hands were cold." He smiled at her, "But won't your hands be cold?" She asked. "Don't worry about me." He said and she nodded, they both started walking again.
